444, suddenly this summer

Spring is always slow, and it is even hurried.

When the roses climbed the walls and the peony was filled with bottles, the spring gradually ended. In the blink of an eye, it was green, fat, red and thin, warm and long day.

On the day of the beginning of summer, all students in the girls' school organized to weigh their weights. The ancients feared the heat of summer and were afraid that their bodies would lose weight, so they weighed on the day of summer. It is said that such a weighing can ensure that a pound of meat will not be lost throughout the summer, and will not be bitter in summer.

Therefore, most girls are reluctant to weigh themselves in the beginning of summer.

——Rui Cai is an exception. Today it is worth 90 kilograms. Then he said happily: "I am more than two kilograms lighter than in the first month of the year!"

Dan Tai Furong curled her lips: "Why did I grow to 95 kilograms? It can be seen that there is a problem with the big pounds! If I grow like this, I will be over 100 kilograms by the year!"

"Why do you have to compare yourself so much?" Ni Jie said, and when Dan Tai Furong saw her weight secretly, she showed her openly, "I'm ten pounds heavier than you."

Seeing that the student aid had exceeded 100 kilograms, Dan Tai Furong's heart was slightly balanced.

Xizi was particularly happy: "I weighed one pound, I weighed one pound!"

Xiaoxiao was also happy: "I weighed one pound and three ounces!"

Youqingsheng floated by: "I've been half a pound lighter again..."

Everyone couldn't help but look at her with concern: Youqing is less than seventy kilograms now.

In addition to collective weighing, the female doctor also asked her to pinch the bones. The bones of Nijie and Ruicai were both heavy, Xizi's bones were slightly thin, Furong and Xiaoxiao were both moderate, only Youqing was sad, the female doctor said that her bones were a little empty, and she specially prepared a few medicines for her to take to avoid deficiencies.

Xizi was also told by the female doctor to eat more beef bone marrow: "How do you eat bone marrow? I'm afraid of it."

At this moment, the girls are eating Qijia tea in the tea room. This is also the rule of the beginning of summer. Everyone brings the tea from each family to school and eat it separately.

Xiaoxiao took a sip of Guirui tea brought by Ruicai, thinking that the female doctor probably wanted to supplement calcium for Xizi, so she said, "I heard of a prescription before, drinking milk is the best bone-enhancing one. You might as well try it."

Xizi trusted Xiaoxiao very much: "Okay, then I'll add a cup of milk to my daily breakfast in the future."

"You can also drink it before going to bed, which is said to help you sleep." Xiaoxiao did not forget to remind him, "The milk must be removed before you can drink it."

Xizi nodded.

What Xizi brought today is naturally rose tea, because the Wen family’s roses are the most famous, and almost all the girls in the class are asking for drinks.

There are also girls from Jiangsu and Zhejiang who bring black rice to everyone, which is served in small bamboo bags, which are very cute; some people also bring bright green broad beans and green peas, which everyone is interested in, so they grab a handful and taste fresh, and chew it in their mouths, which is glutinous and fresh.

Most people bring fresh summer eggs, mostly fragrant boiled eggs, some boiled with green tea, some boiled with Huadiao wine, some boiled with walnut shells, and some brought salted duck eggs, which were cracked and eaten with the glutinous yellow sand inside.

In addition to eating, the Lixia eggs must also be worn. Use various silk threads to make a zipper and put the boiled eggs in. There are colorful tassels hanging down from the zipper, which are often tied to the waist. Children's homes are tied to their chests. When they meet each other, they collided together to play the game of "being on eggs". That is, touching the eggs, and the egg skin is not broken.

Dan Tai Furong and Ni Jie also touched each other. Perhaps the strength was not strong, and no one's egg skin was broken, which was a win-win situation.

Xizi drank a sip of Maofeng tea brought by Xiaoxiao with a white porcelain eggshell cup: "It's still refreshing to drink this tea. I ate the rice in the beginning of summer this morning. The diced bacon was a little salty and the broad beans were big. But my second sister-in-law said it was delicious and kept asking someone to add rice to me. Later I found out that the bacon was sent by her parents' home."

"Our family eats summer noodles, fried sauce and various dishes. A breakfast is like lunch, and two five-spice tea eggs." Xiaoxiao likes to talk to everyone about these festival customs. Everyone has different ancestral homes and different customs - he, a truly "modern foreigner", has never experienced such a rich festival before.

Ruicai smiled when she heard this: "Our family is the most convenient way. It's better to follow the habits of our hometown, mix amaranth with garlic paste. This will be the beginning of summer!"

"Eating amaranth in the beginning of summer is also an ancient custom," said Ni Jie.

"Our family is confused about any festival." Dan Tai Furong likes to drink Beiyuan tea brought by Niji. At this moment, she took her Qiaoyun Cup and clinked a horseshoe cup from Niji. "This morning, our dining table was very lively, including the Lixia noodles, Lixia rice, Lixia eggs, Lixia soup, and summer cakes. By the way, a Fujian chef also made a dish of shrimp noodles for them, saying that they had eaten with Lixia."

"What is Lixia Potion?" Xiaoxiao asked curiously.

"It is to stew together the small rice dumplings, mushroom diced diced cubes, lean meat cubes, tender bamboo shoots, and various bean sprouts and dried beans," Dan Tai Furong thought about what else was missing, "By the way, there is also fried shrimp."

"It sounds delicious." Xiaoxiao wanted to try these fresh foods, and then asked Ni Festival, "What are you eating when you help students in the beginning of summer?"

"A variety of dishes made of foot bone bamboo shoots," said Ni Jie. "My mother's ancestral home is Ningbo, so eating foot bone bamboo shoots is the custom there."

"I also heard from our Ningbo chef that eating foot bone bamboo shoots in the real summer is a health care for foot bones!" said Dan Tai Furong.

"Do you like chatting with the chef?" Ni Jie asked.

"I have loved watching them cook in the kitchen since I was a child..." Furong scratched her head, thinking that this habit was quite good. She looked approachable and knowledgeable, and could also eat "first-for-nothing".

"Eating these things in the beginning of summer is actually people praying for health," Ni Festival popularized knowledge for everyone. "It is said that eating eggs on the beginning of summer is to support the heart, bamboo shoots on the legs, peas on the eyes, and scale the body on the body. This will make the body strong and survive the bitter summer."

So that's the case, Xiaoxiao once again gained knowledge in ancient times.

"This is the beginning of summer cake made by our family, and I will bring it to everyone to try." The classmate Tanmei, the girl who is very good at dancing.

"Tanmei, how many pounds are you?" Dan Tai Furong asked this when she saw someone.

"I'm almost ninety kilograms." Tanmei smiled.

"Then you look so thin."

"It's probably because I'm getting taller." Tanmei sat down, with the unique elegance of the dancer in her posture, holding a copy of "The Thrush Bridge" in her hand. "In this issue, some people predict that by the first day of next month, many Xianglu powder shops will launch new Xianglu, but I don't know if it's true?"

Xizi shrugged: "Anyway, this is also the first for the Wen family. The Zhu family prefers to join in the fun, so let's just get together."

Dan Tai Furong covered her mouth with embarrassment and smiled: "Before I have time to say it, our family plans to launch a new fragrance on the first day of next month. My father said, if you are facing your shop, you should borrow the east wind from your family."

Xizi: Is there anyone who borrows the east wind face to face?

"The Wen family, Zhu family, and Taoyedu, these are already three masters!" Tanmei is a Xianglu controller and is very concerned about Xianglu's fashion trend.

Xiaoxiao said, "It's good that way, just use the first day of every even month as a press conference for Kyoto!" The following sentence did not say: It's a mule or a horse to take a walk.

Xiaoxiao coughed lightly: "Can there be a distinction only if there is comparison?"

Tanmei felt it made sense, and as a Xianglu Controller, he was naturally particularly yearning for this: "That is the prosperous era of Kyoto Xianglu! Have you heard of it? The Zhu family plans to launch four Xianglu to make up four beauties, but they don't launch them all at once. They want to launch one every half month. By the end of two months, the four beauties Xianglu will be gathered together."

"This is also a means." Ni Jie smiled.

Ruicai couldn't help but care about Xizi: "What are your plans?"

"I also plan to release one bottle every half month to make up four beauties." Xizi thought for a while, and it was only a few days before the first day of next month, so he simply found out.

Now Tanmei's turn was surprised: "Do your family also want to launch four beauties?! Your Wen family?!"

"The idea coincides with it." Xiaoxiao smiled softly.

This is the biggest news Tanmei heard today, it is even bigger than the news that a classmate has 61 pounds and a classmate has 124 pounds: "Oh my God! The Wen family is also going to launch four beauties?! Are they the same four beauties?!"

Xizi smiled slightly: "I don't know, after all, both sides keep the secret."

Tanmei couldn't ask any more questions, but she still couldn't help but say something more: "The Zhu family has revealed that the first beauty fragrance dew is named after Luzhu. If you guess correctly, the question should be the four beauties: Luzhu, Ban Ji, Wang Qiang and Mrs. Huarui."

When Xizi heard this, he seemed to sigh of relief: "Fortunately, I didn't repeat it with the other party, otherwise it would be embarrassing."

"I'm so curious about which four beauties your family will launch!" Tanmei was still a little excited: "Those magazines were still foolishly guessing, making dozens of predictions about the Xianglu of your Wen family, but they didn't guess the four beauties!"

Xizi smiled faintly: "This will make it easier to compare with it."

Tanmei patted her purse, and the purple-red ears wrapped around her waist were shaking: "I'm going to lose money again next month, so there's so much fragrance to buy..."

"There are also the seven newly launched sisters in our family!" Dan Tai Furong also joined in the fun.

Everyone was surprised this time: "Your family is going to launch seven models?"

Dan Tai Furong laughed: "It's the seven sisters rose fragrance, just one bottle!" As she said that, she touched Xizi beside her with her shoulders, "Fortunately, our family bought the one-year manufacturing rights of your family's fragrance bottle. This time, the fragrance bottle is a pink transparent glass rose, which is very beautiful~"

Tanmei showed a more yearning expression and said to Xizi: "In a while, they will definitely ask me, can Xianglu, the four beauties in your family, tell them?"

Xizi nodded, not minding.

Dan Tai Furong added another sentence: "Don't forget to tell them about our seven sisters! They use the pure seven sisters rose and wood fragrance, and..."

Tanmei smiled and said, "Okay, now you have even flowers~"

Dan Tai Furong smiled, and Taoyedu’s fragrance and dew business was just a decoration, and the most important thing was to sell ready-made clothes and jewelry. Therefore, instead of spending a lot of money to hire perfumers, Taoyedu would rather spend a greater price to hire a master of painting and jewelry craftsman.

"By the way, Yingyuan, the master of painting I mentioned last time, our family doesn't plan to use it anymore. I advise you to calm down. My father was almost angry with him this time." Dan Tai Furong still couldn't believe that she had become friends with the girl from the Haiyige family.
